Nowadays, with the demand to reflect the real world, we have a number of imprecise stored business data warehouses. The precise data classification cannot solve all the requirements. Thus, the fuzzy decision tree classification problem is important for the fuzzy data mining problem. The fuzzy decision classification based on the fuzzy set theory has some limitations derived from its innerself. The hedge algebra with many advantages has become a really useful tool for solving the fuzzy decision tree classification. However, the sample data homogenising process based on the quantitative methods of the hedge algebra still has some restrictions because of errors evolved and the resulting tree is not truly flexible. So, the fuzzy decision tree obtained is not always highly predictable. In this paper, using fuzziness intervals matching with hedge algebra, the authors proposed an inductive learning method "HAC4.5 fuzzy decision tree" to obtain a fuzzy decision tree with high predictability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
